DYFI workers were saving lives of Youth Congress activists, not assaulting them: Kerala CM

Kannur (Kerala), Nov 21 (PTI) Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday claimed that DYFI workers had actually saved the lives of the Youth Congress activists, who allegedly tried to jump in front of his cavalcade and waved black flags, and did not assault them as has been reported.

Vijayan said he was sitting in the front seat of the bus on which he and his cabinet colleagues were travelling as part of the state government's outreach programme Nava Kerala Sadas, and saw the Youth Congress activists trying to jump in front of the vehicle.
